- Does anyone know of an XCMD or some other programmatic way to set various
- Control Panel settings? I'm particularly interested in access to time and date
- (from the General Controls panel), the Disk Cache, VM, and 32-bit mode settings
- (from the Memory panel), and several of the settings on the "Portable" panel.
-
- Our application runs on a PowerBook 170 and will probably lose parameter RAM
- when the lithium battery runs down (we de-install the main battery for safety
- and storage reasons).
-
- Any hints, comments, or pointers to system calls that can help will be greatly
- appreciated. Feel free to contact any of the following people by phone or
- email.

- Thanks!
